Rainer Bielefeld <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|CONFIRMED |RESOLVED CC| |rainerbielefeld_ooo_qa@biel | |efeldundbuss.de Version|4.1.0-dev |OOo 3.3 or older Resolution|--- |NOT_AN_ISSUE OS|Linux |All --- Comment #3 from Rainer Bielefeld <[email protected]> --- Version has been changed wrongly, so back! May be we have a user error here, not a bug? (a) In sample <<document 2009-10-20 21:18 CEST, skelem>> format of cell B4 is "Standard", what means limit number of shown decimals to setting in menu 'Tools -> Options -> Calc -> Calculate - Decimal places', what is "2" for reporter's sample document. So no problem here! (b) Reporter also misunderstands "Add Decimal Place" icon (at least most of it). Function of that icon is not "Show 1 more decimal place of 20 existing ones", but "enforce 1 additional minimum decimal. In reporter's sample document you can simply test that with typing "1" into B5. After Enter result should be shown as "1", because Format "Number - Standard" does not enforce decimal places. (b1) With selected column 4 clicking Icon "Add Decimal Place" will change viewing of "1" to "1.0", what is correct (b2) But it's indeed difficult to understand why for B4 such a click reduces number of shown decimals. It's completely correct due to format code "0.0" created for affected cells, but that might be a little unintuitive. (b21) Help for "Number Format: Add Decimal Place" is really poor: "Adds one decimal place to the numbers in the selected cells.", That's at least imprecise. All this is not limited to Linux, I see the same with WIN. After some thinking I will submit an enhancement request for Help and decide later whether behavior of this function acn be improved to make it more intuitive. But I cna't see a bug here, so Not_An_Issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
